3. ALIENS

The wallpaper you choose in a skin incredibly determines how your skin looks and feels to use on your desktop. The perfect example of this is this rainmeter skin called the ALIENS which is beautifully inspired from the hit sci-fi movie Aliens. The interface on this skin only looks interesting when you add suitable wallpaper in. Although you can choose any wallpaper you want, we recommend using the Aliens movie wallpapers that come in the program bundle with this skin. That way, you can actually experience how it was meant to be experienced, like being in the movie, like using the alien’s advance hardware.

Talking about the modules, they are very informative on this skin, including Network Speeds modules, Disk Partition Shortcuts, Power Status and Time and dates modules as well. There is even a Google search bar from which you directly make a Google search and if that also isn’t enough, there is a live feed column that keeps you updated with local news!

4. Razor

The Razor is also one of those Rainmeter skins that heavily depend on the wallpaper you choose for its background. Although this gives you a sense of freedom, a customizable feature on your skin, it also burdens you with the choice. It can be a disadvantage as easily as it is an advantage. If you do not choose wisely, you might end up with a normal looking desktop. You don’t want that when you’re going through the trouble of installing a skin to make it look good! But on the other hand, if you can choose right, this skin will make the most gorgeous rainmeter skin that you can install on your desktop!

Wisp is a unique rainmeter skin in the sense that its modules do not have any boundaries. They look like random floating clouds on your desktop which can be very eerily good looking if you put the right background behind it.

LIM!T is a skin that uses its fonts and colors to display information not only in a textual manner but also visually, which when you get a hold off, will be incredibly easy to interpret. For instance, the minute numbers fill up as time passes. The minute number fills up as the minute passes and empties at the start of another minute. It displays every piece of information in such a manner while also using different colors and fonts to beautify the concept.

The information it displays, include date and Time obviously, but also CPU and RAM usage, Current Media Playbacks, and even Weather Statistics. Basically this is a different kind of skin that lets you read your data in a visual manner, which can be very useful once you get the habit of it, as visual representation is always more easy to understand.

Do remember, using skins uses some extra hardware resources and is not recommended if you’re using an old Computer or laptop. You might experience some random freezing in Windows 8 or 10 as they already require too much resources. It’s recommended to have good processor, RAM & a graphic card to really enjoy this customizations.
